Eventually it may come to news agencies, or the AP coming together to charge fees for the use of their stories on the internet. I can see no other way for them to get paid for their reporting. -Ted It seems that the decline of printed newspapers is a recurring theme when it comes to the future of the news.

My wager? If they're making their debt payment obligations now...wait until the summer doldrums hit and I'll bet receivership comes by August at the latest. Jeff, you've so eloquently (and with an insiders perspective) written about what you think it'll take to keep news organizations in-the-game. Mine is a strong, local and full embrace of user-generated content that still is led by people in each community in which the paper covers and THEN those community leaders widen the circle of others. Wrote about that here: http://www.iconnectdots.com/ctd/2008/02/why-newspapers.html Keep up the good work!
